Start with RNS instructions
RNS says applicants should log in to their account and upload a compliant photo ID if there is a photo issue. It also says to make sure photos are clear during verification and do not upload scanned documents.
That warning matters because document review systems usually need a clear image of the original document, not a copy, scan, screenshot, or edited image.
Common problems to fix
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Blurry photo | Retake in good light and keep the document still |
| Cropped edges | Show all corners of the document |
| Name mismatch | Match RNS profile details to your legal document |
| Expired document | Use a valid document with enough remaining validity |
| Screenshot or scan | Use a fresh photo of the original document where required |
| Glare or shadow | Move away from reflective lighting |
| Face-match issue | Use camera access and follow the on-screen prompts |
Why exchange photo rules are relevant
Exchange KYC systems show how strict identity-photo checks can be. MEXC says photos should be clear and complete, with all corners visible, and lists issues such as blurry images, incomplete information, expired documents, and screenshots or copies. KuCoin also describes ID photos and face verification as part of identity verification.
RNS and exchanges are separate systems, but the same practical rule applies: the document image must be clear, original, and consistent with your account details.
Before contacting support
Prepare:
- exact rejection message
- device and browser/app used
- document type
- whether the document is expired
- whether your RNS profile matches the document
- whether camera permissions were enabled
Do not send identity documents to random helpers, social accounts, or unofficial websites.
Bottom line
Most photo problems are about clarity, document validity, matching details, or using the wrong image type. Fix those first, then use official RNS support if the portal still rejects the upload.
